The Power Query HexViewer displays the raw binary contents of a local text file as a structured hex dump, showing each byte’s address, offset, and hexadecimal value in a table. It reads the file `gitignore_global.txt` using Power Query’s `File.Contents` and `BinaryFormat.List`, then transforms the byte stream with `List.Transform` and `List.Positions` to compute address and offset columns. The final output uses the `#table` constructor to render the parsed data, with `Binary.ToText` formatting each byte as uppercase hex. The visualization relies solely on Power Query’s M language functions, not external JavaScript libraries.

PowerQuery hexview

The example visualizes a hexadecimal dump of a file’s raw bytes as a grid, where each cell represents one byte’s value in uppercase hex notation. The PowerQuery code reads the file `gitignore_global.txt` using `File.Contents` and `BinaryFormat.List`, then maps each byte to its relative and offset position within the file. Non-printable characters are replaced with dots, while printable ones display as hex pairs. The resulting table is expanded via `Table.ExpandRecordColumn`, producing a row per byte with columns for the byte value, its modulo-16 column, and the offset base—offering a compact, text-based visual breakdown of binary content without external charting libraries.

Gist 8abd0d0a72b91b4d72ce79ac9d8ab6c4

This example demonstrates how Power Query’s `BinaryFormat.List` function reads binary data as a sequence of items, returning a list. It shows three distinct modes: reading until the data ends, reading a fixed number of items, and using a condition function to stop based on item values. The code constructs sample binary data with `#binary`, then applies `BinaryFormat.List` with `BinaryFormat.Byte` as the item format. The condition variant passes a lambda `(x) => x < 2` that continues reading while true, including the first failing item. The output lists (e.g., `{1, 2, 3}`) directly display the parsed bytes.

HEX2DEC one liner implementation in Power Query M

This example demonstrates a compact implementation of hexadecimal-to-decimal conversion in Power Query M, a formula language used in Microsoft Power BI and Excel. It shows how a single-line function can replace a multi-step conversion process. The code defines a custom function named `HEX2DEC` that takes a text string as input and applies the `Expression.Evaluate` API with the literal prefix “0x” to interpret the hexadecimal value. The function then returns the decimal result directly. The visualization highlights the elegance of using M’s expression evaluation for parsing, offering a practical alternative to built-in conversion functions.

Converting a Power BI tabular connection string to Binary

This example demonstrates a Power Query (M) function that converts a Power BI tabular connection string into a binary format. It shows how to extract and decode the embedded Mashup component from the semicolon-delimited string. The function first splits the connection string using `Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter`, isolates the last segment, and removes the "Mashup=" prefix. It then uses `Binary.FromText` to decode the remaining Base64-encoded text into binary data. The rendering relies entirely on the M language’s standard library, with no external libraries. This approach is useful for scenarios where a connection string’s embedded model needs to be accessed programmatically.

Power Query navigate the documentation of #shared functions. [M code]

This example visualizes the complete set of functions exposed by Power Query’s `#shared` namespace, organized into a navigable table. It shows each function’s name, module, category, example code, description, and signature. The M code uses `Record.ToTable` and `Table.SelectRow` to filter functions, then leverages `Value.Metadata` to extract documentation fields like `Documentation.Category` and `Documentation.Examples`. It also parses module names via `Text.Split` and builds signatures dynamically. The result is a self-documenting inventory, enabling users to browse and understand the entire Power Query function library directly from the environment.

DEC2BIN or HEX2BIN in Power Query M

This example demonstrates a Power Query M function that converts a decimal number to its binary string representation, implementing the equivalent of Excel’s DEC2BIN and HEX2BIN operations. The function, `Number.DEC2BIN`, takes a numeric input and uses `List.Generate` to iteratively extract bits via `Number.BitwiseAnd` and `Number.BitwiseShiftRight`. Each iteration prepends the least significant bit to an accumulating string, while the loop continues until the remainder becomes zero. The code relies on M’s native `Number.ToText` for bit conversion and explicitly shows the bitwise arithmetic and list-generation logic, with no external libraries or data sources involved.

Dissecting ZIP file structure in Power Query M following explanation from https://users.cs.jmu.edu/buchhofp/forensics/formats/pkzip.html

This example dissects the binary structure of ZIP files using Power Query’s M language, following the PKZIP format specification from James Madison University. It visually parses a ZIP file’s local file headers, central directory entries, and end-of-central-directory records, revealing metadata like compression method, timestamps, and file names. The code leverages `BinaryFormat` combinators—such as `BinaryFormat.Record`, `BinaryFormat.Choice`, and `BinaryFormat.List`—to sequentially read and interpret byte streams, with `Binary.Decompress` handling deflate decompression. The visualization highlights how raw bytes map to structured fields, making the format’s internal layout explicit. Data originates from a sample ZIP file provided as a binary input.

UnZip in Power Query M

This example demonstrates a custom implementation of the UnZip algorithm entirely in Power Query M, enabling direct extraction of compressed ZIP file contents without external dependencies. It shows how binary data can be parsed and decompressed within Power BI’s data transformation environment. The code defines a binary format using `BinaryFormat.Record` to parse ZIP file headers, including signatures, compression flags, and sizes, then applies `BinaryFormat.Transform` with `Compression.Deflate` to decompress individual file entries. The result is a table of filenames and their uncompressed contents, derived from a gist by Hugoberry, showcasing low-level binary handling and list transformations in M.
